Scenery

Echo ready to leave Alkmaar but I wish Dwight would have removed the blue tarp from the forward hatch before the picture was taken (nag, nag, nag).  That's our friend Peter sitting on the upper deck.

  

The new prop for the bow thruster, easy turns to port and starboard are possible again.  It is amazing just what you can squeeze into a corner of your suitcase--with the proper motivation.

No more wrong name, Orca was painted out.  Now to get the real name "Echooooo" on it.

 

The canal going into (or out of) Alkmaar

Our bathroom fold-down sink bought for 5 pounds on ebay, U.K., stored for months and months by the cousin of a friend, then transported by car from England to Holland by the wonderful crew of Notrammah. It takes an international community to install a sink in a boat's bathroom!  Multiple thank-yous to everyone involved, we couldn't have done it without you all.
